Jython: cannot import name String [from java.util]

I'm trying to use a Jython automation script in Maximo 7.6.1.1:

from psdi.iface.router import HTTPHandler
from java.util import HashMap
from java.util import String
handler = HTTPHandler()
map = HashMap()
map.put("URL",url)
map.put("HTTPMETHOD","GET")
responseBytes = handler.invoke(map,None)
response = String(responseBytes,"utf-8")

Source: Maximo 76 Scripting Features (PDF download)

However, I'm getting an error at line 3:

ImportError: cannot import name String in <script> at line number 3

I can isolate the error by deleting everything except line 3:

from java.util import String

-------------------------------------------------------------------

ImportError: cannot import name String in <script> at line number 1

Why can't I import String from java.util into my Jython script?

Solution

  • Because it is java.lang.String.

    There is no String in java.util.
